Opinion Line (Nov. 30)

I find it reassuring that in America, we still will not indict folks for crimes they didn’t commit just to satisfy a mob that will loot, riot and burn buildings if it doesn’t get its way.

At least we now know one thing for sure: Officer Darren Wilson is not a ham sandwich.

America proves again that black lives mean nothing to it. Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? No.

Ferguson Mo. – divide and destroy. Another part of Obama’s plan for the United States.

For sale, cheap: all government and business property in Ferguson, Mo. (those still standing); must relocate.

I would like to know who is behind all these “spontaneous” Ferguson demonstrations across the country. I smell a rat.

If every illegal immigrant magically transported from the U.S. to their own countries, our country would be in deep trouble. No more cheap gardeners, nannies, maids, roofers, etc. The top 1 percent would be screaming their heads off.

I guess everyone has forgotten that we are all illegal aliens. We stole this country from the Native Americans, and then we try to cover it up by calling everyone else illegal.

My father did not come to America from Germany to see this country overrun by immigrants.

Someone had to take the blame for Obama’s failure to confront ISIS a year ago, and it certainly wasn’t going to be the president. Thus, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was chosen for the unceremonious boot.

Where were the cries for censure and impeachment when Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush signed executive orders that resulted in amnesty for some illegal aliens?

I’m offended by our president “blessing” the turkeys by simulating the Sign of the Cross over them during his pardoning of them.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and the only thing that stops a good guy with a gun is the government.

What a joke that Gov. Sam Brownback declared a “Week of Reconciliation” for Kansans to seek and give forgiveness. Our governor should beg forgiveness from Kansans for saying he wasn’t aware until after the election that the state was facing a shortfall.

Brownback didn’t know that Kansas will have a budget shortfall this fiscal year? Where was he, out moonlighting with Kris Kobach?

Brownback: as ill-informed as the people voting for him.

The only way to restore fiscal sanity to the state’s budget is for all or nearly all of Brownback’s tax cuts to be rescinded. Trickle-down economics belongs to the Wizard of Oz, and not in the real Kansas of today.
